'I know nothing but here': Boxing champ who represented England faces deportation

You're sending a dead man walking into a country he doesn't know about

Aamir Ali, Kelvin's coach and manager

Bilal 'Kelvin' Fawaz is an elite boxer who has represented England six times - but he's currently facing deportation to Nigeria after living in the UK since he was 14.

Brought here illegally by an 'uncle' with the promise of a better life, he says he was treated "like a slave" before he ran away from the home he was living in and taken into care.

Despite going through an early turbulent period, he discovered boxing and became a UK champion. But on 29 November he was arrested and the 29-year-old now faces deportation to Nigeria, where he has no family, friends or status.

Good Morning Britain's Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid spoke to Kelvin from the immigration detention centre in West Sussex, where he's being held and were also joined in the studio by his manager and coach Aamir Ali.
